um, I changed my question

I was doing a reading for someone, after having already done about 8 readings. I was doing the reading blind, which means the person thinks of the question without telling me. I love that. Keeps me super focused on the energy I am sensing since I have no pre-conceived notions at all about the topic.

So I started reading, I started to get a sense of some energy but it was very vague and didn’t quite understand it yet, when suddenly it just.... disappeared...... I tried to focus, but couldn’t get it back. I thought perhaps I’d lost my train of thought from doing so many readings or something and said to the person, “hmm…now where were we…I lost track.”

She started laughing and said, “Um. Sorry. I just changed my question.” We both cracked up. All in a days work. I love my job.

simply clean off the bed

Once I was doing a blind reading, where I didn’t know the person’s question, and all I could see was a vagina. I wasn’t quite sure why, yet. I shared what I saw, chuckled a bit to put her at ease and went on. But then I started to see all this clutter around her. Like dirty clothes on the bed and everything felt messy and overwhelming. I started to explain what was needed.

She stopped me and said, “I just have to tell you my question now. I wasn’t sure I wanted to ask it but I’m glad I did. I’ve been frustrated because I just have NO libido right now. I’m not into it at all and it really is bothering me, not to mention my husband. I feel like I have to force myself.”

Sure enough, she needed to clean off the bed and make a beautiful room for their love. Messes can really can get in the way of all kinds of things.

Hope she’s enjoying herself now. That would be worthwhile work.

that’s so simple. i don’t get it.

“That’s it!?! But it’s so simple I don’t get it.” My client kept asking me to repeat it. And she even repeated it herself. “Just love her. Just hold her. Don’t fix her right now. Just love her? That's it? Are you sure?”

The busy, and well intended suburban mom, has been pushing her daughter. Fixing her. Helping her. Trying to make it easier for her. But I could see, that her daughter just wanted to be held and accepted for who she is. “Just love her. Like she is. Right now. There’s plenty of time in the future for guiding ,teaching. Right now, she just needs to be loved. Nothing would help her more than your confidence in her. Each time you race in to give her an idea and redirect her, fix her, you are actually, though unintentionally, undermining her. Just let her be for a bit. Just love her. Just love her.”

She kept looking at me incredulously and said, “Wow. I just really don’t know how to do that. I’m always helping. I’m not sure what I’m going to do.” Just love her.

Is this the sign of our suburban, affluent times and we want the best for our kids so we push? She is such a loving mother. I hope she just stops and loves.
